Electronic Love
You have this ability.
The words that you write,
I can hear them as if you’re saying them.
The restrictions of technology do not apply to us,
A special situation, a plus.
Everyday your electronic communication makes me feel like I’m on a rollercoaster,
Ups & downs, fast and slow, you fire me up like I’m in a toaster.
The vibration of my phone gives me hope that it’s you,
And when it isn’t, a feeling of disappointment runs through.
However, when I see your name and then a hey,
I feel like a young girl during the holidays who doesn’t know what to say.
Frozen, I sit thinking of the perfect response
That will make you as gitty as you make me, thus being at a loss,
For words.
But filled with such joyous emotions, it’s almost absurd.
They say you need webcams to make a visual connection,
But all I need is a smiley face in the form of a text, and I can visualize your smile, no exception.
Your “haha’s” get me excited,
That “Yes, I made her laugh,” I feel lighted.
When driving and texting you,
I turn the volume up and sing in hopes of having others see how happy I am, ask me why, and be able to say that it’s because of you.
But just as you give me happiness,
I can also share your sadness.
And I feel that is the super glue in our bond,
Indistructable, so incredible, I question if this is all a con.
Soon enough, I’ll find out the truth
Because we will now meet for the first time.
As excited as I am, I’m also experiencing fear,
That the truth has been masked by words like a wrongfully brought up boy does a tear.
However, when the time came,
It wasn’t even close to the same.
In fact, it was even more incredible than I had imagined it would be,
Because when we as two individuals came together, it created a magical we.
Your smile was even more beautiful than I had envisioned,
A truth that would act as a catalyst to joy, making me feel heightened.
And as I left that day with a sense of elation,
I looked down at my phone to see your words, fabulous diction.
Reading, “I had a great time :)”,
My one lost soul, had come back, giving me feelings I’ll remember for a lifetime.
You see, you make “You’ve Got Mail” seem realistic,
And take away any possibility of me being heartsick.
The connection we have creates a whole new type of love,
Electronic love.
One that shows a true connection,
As two souls must use imagination and interpretation.
Taking ones words and imagining them saying them,
And when you can do that you have true love, a gem.
And I’m left smiling,
Colon, Parentheses, and I’m not dreaming.
I’m feeling.
Electronic Love.
